14 DAY TRIAL // Security solutions provider Trend Micro has released an interesting infographic to highlight the cyber security risks of smart TVs.
According to statistics, by 2016, 85% of flat panel TVs will be smart TVs, so it’s important for owners to know what kind of cyberthreats they can encounter.
Trend Micro explains that, because smart TVs allow users to access their online accounts, phishing attacks represent one of the main concerns.
Additionally, since smart TVs don’t come with a keyboard, it’s likely that owners will start setting shorter, easy-to-guess passwords.
Smart TVs are just like a computer, so cybercriminals are likely to install malicious applications that steal information and monitor activities.
Take a look at the infographic to learn some easy steps that can help you secure your device against these threats.
